The present invention relates to new halogeno-
propargylformamides, a process for their preparation,
and their use as pest-combating agents.
Heavy metal salts of ethylene-1,2-bis-(dithio-
carbamic acid), in particular zinc ethylene-1,2-bis-tdi-
thiocarbamate), have long been used in agriculture and
horticulture for combating phytopathogenic fungi (see
R. Wegler, "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz- und Schadlings-
bekampfungsmittel" CChemistry of Plant Protection Agents
1û and Pest-combating Agents], Volume 2, page 65, Springer-
Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg/New York C1970]).
Furthermore, it has long been known that com-
pounds containing N-trihalogenomethylthio groups are
used as funyicides in ayriculture and horticulture.
Thus, for example, N-~trichloromethylthio)-tetrahydro-
phthalimide is used in pract;ce in fruit cultivation and
v;ticulture for combat;ng fungal diseases ~see German
Patent Spec;fication 887,506 and Angew. Chem. 76, 807
C1964~)~
Furthermore, inorganic copper compounds which
have a broad fungicidal spectrum of ac.ion are known
(see K.H. Buchel, "Pflanzenschutz und Schàdlingsbekampf-
ung" CPlant Protection and Pest-combating~, pages 121
and 122, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart). In addition,
iodopropargyl compounds, such as N-butyl iodopropargyl
carbamate, have been disclosed as paint fung;cides ~see
DE-OS CGerman Published Specification] 3,116,653).

the presence of basic substances in a diluent at temperatures
between -30C and +50C.
The new halogenopEopargyIformamides of the formula (I)
have powerful fungicidal and bactericidal properties. Surpri-
singly, they exhibit a superior action compared with the pre-
viously known compounds.
Because their superior blological properties may
be used in a number of possible ways, the compounds according
to the invention represent a valuable enrichment of the art.
Thus the present invention further relates to a
method of combating pests which comprises applying to the pests
or a pest habitat a pesticidally effective amount of the halo-
genoproparglylformamides of the above formula (I).
Among the halogenopropargylformamides according to
the invention, of the formula (I), those compounds are prefer-
red in which

example by reacting an appropriate formalnide with, for
example, potassium tert.-butylate to give the potassium
salt of the formamide, and this is reacted with a prop-
argyl halide. However, it ;s also possible to react a
primary amine with a propargyl halide in the presence of
a base and to formylate the resulting propargylamine with
formic acid or a formate (see, for example, Bull.Soc.
Chim. Fr. 1967 C2], payes 5~8-596).
The halogenating agents, such as halogen, which
are furthermore to be used as start;ng materials are
commercial, readily obtainable products.
Water and polar organic solvents are suitable
diluents in the process. Suitable polar organic solvents
are those which are inert under the reaction condit;ons.
It is advantageous to use those organic solvents which
have a certain dissolving power for the reactants. Pre-
ferably, solvents conta;ning hydroxyl groups, such as,
for example, alcohols, are used. Part;cularly suitable
alcohols are the typical lower aliph3tic alcohols, such
as, for example, methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, as
well as di- and polyhydroxy compounds, such as ethylene
glycol and polyethylene glycol. The reaction is par-
ticularly preferably carried out ;n methanol and water.
Suitable basic substances are alkali metal
hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, but
alkali metal hydroxides, such as, for example, sodium
hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, are preferably used.
Suitable halogenating agents are elementary halo-
gen and hypohalites. The hypohalites are formed when
halogen is added to the abovementioned alkaline solutions,
but may also be prepared from halogen and alkalis before
the halogenatîon reaction and then added to the material
to be halogenated. Iodine and bromine may be mentioned
in particular.
The reaction temperature can be -30 to +50C, but
is preferably in the range of 0-20C.

The process according to the invention can, f~r
example, be carried out as follows:
A propargylformamide of the formula tII), in one
of the diluents g;ven, is initially introduced, and the
molar amount to three times the molar amount of alkali,
preferably 1.5 times the molar amount, is added.
Thereafter, at least a molar amount of halogenating
agent is added in portions, an excess of the
halogenating agent havincJ no disadvantages, and stirring
is continued in the temperature range from O to 20C.
The reaction is monitored by thin-layer chromatography.
After the reaction is complete, the mixture is worked up
by customary methods, for example by precipitating th~
end product by the addition of water, or by extraction.
The active compounds according to the invention
exhibit a powerful microbicidal action and can be
employed in practice for combating undesired micro-
organisms. The active compounds are suitable for use as
plant protection agents and as microbicidal agents for
protecting industrial materials.
Fungic;dal agents in plant protection are
employed for combating Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes,
Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidio-
mycetes and Deuteromycetes.
Bactericidal agents are employed in plant
protection for combating Pseudomonadaceae, Rhizobiaceae,
Enterobacteriaceae, Corynebacteriaceae and Strepto-
mycetaceae.
The good toleration, by plants, of the active
compounds, at the concentrations required for combating
plant diseases, permits treatment of above-ground parts
of plants, of vegetat;ve propagation stock and seeds,
and of the soil.
As plant protection agents, the active compounds
according to the invention can be used with particularly
good success for combating Leptosphaeria nodorum and

Fusarium nivale in cereals, as well as against Venturia
;n apples and aga;nst Xanthomonas oryzae ;n r;ce.
Furthermore, the broad funyicidal action in the agar
plate test should be mentioned~ When an appropriate dose
is administered, acaricidal actions are also to be
observed.
The active compounds can be converted to the
customary formulations, such as soLutions, emulsions,
suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols,
natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active
compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and
in coating compositions for seed, and formulations used
with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges,
fumigat;ng cans, fumigating coils and the like, as well
as ULV cold mist and warm m;st formulations.
These formulations are produced in known manner,
for example by mixing the active compounds with exten-
ders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under
pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use
of surface-active agents, that is, emulsifying agents
and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-forming agents~ In
the case of the use of water as an extender, organic
solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary
solvents~ As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the
main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naph-
thalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic
hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or
methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as
cyclGhexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil frac-
tions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well astheir ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl
ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone of cyclohexanone,
strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and
d;methylsulphoxide, as well as water; by liquefied
gaseous extenders or carriers are meant liquids which are
gaseous at normal temperature and under normal pressure,

f~r example aerosol propellants, such as halogenated
hydrocarbons as w~ll as butane, propane, nitro~en and
carbon dioxide; as solid carriers there are suitable: for
example ground naturaL minerals, such as kaolins, clays,
talc, chaLk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonit~ or
diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such
3S highly-dispersed sil;cic acid, alumina and silicates;
as solid carr;ers for granules there are suitable: for
example calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite,
as well as synthetic granules or organic rnaterial such as
sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks;
as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are
suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers,
such as polyoxy-ethylene-fatty acid esters,
polyoxyethyLene-fatty alcohol ethers, for example
alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, aLkyl sulphonates, alkyl
sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin
hydrolysation products; as dispersing agents there are
su;table: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and
methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and
natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders,
granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl
alcohol and polyvinyl acetate can be used in the
formulations.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic
pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and
Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin
dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine
dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron,
manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain between
0.1 and 95X by weight of active compound, preferably
between 0.5 and 90~.
The active compounds according to the invention
can be present in the formulations or in the various use

- 10 -
forms as a miYture with other known active compounds,
such as fungicides, bactericides, insecticides,
acaricides, nematicides, herbicides, bird repellants,
growth factors, plant nutrients and agents for improving
soil structure.
The active compounds can be used as such or in
the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared
therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use
solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes and
granules. ~hey are used in the customary manner, for
example by water;ng, ;mmers;on, spray;ng, atomis;ng,
misting vaporising, ;njecting, form;ng a slurry, brush;ng
on, dusting, scattering, dry dressing, moist dressing,
wet dressing, slurry dressing or encrusting.
In the treatment of parts of plants, the active
compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied
within a substantial range. They are, in general, between
1 and 0.0001~ by weight, preferably between 0.5 and
0.001%.
In the treatment of seed, amounts of act;ve
compound of 0.001 to 50 9 per kilogram of seed, pre-
ferably 0.01 to 10 9, are generally required.
For the treatment of soil, act;ve compound
concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably
0.0001 to 0.02%, are required at the place of action. Thé
compounds according to the invent;on are also su;.able
for the protection of industrial materials.
Within the scope of the present invention, indus-
trial materials are products which themselves do not
occur naturally but are manufactured from natural or
synthetic starting materials. W;thin the scope of the
present invention, the products to be protected are
industrial materials which can be infested andtor de-
composed by micro-organisms.
Industrial material which are to be protected by
the substances according to the invention from micro-

bial modification and destruction are, for example,
adnesives, glues, papers, cardboards, textiles, leather,
wood, coating compositions, plasters, cooling lubricants,
sealing compositions and plast;c articles, which can be
infested or decomposed by micro-organisms. ~ithin the
scope of the materials to be protected, parts of pro-
duction plants, such as, for example, cooling water cir-
culations and cooling lubricant circulations, the oper-
ational efficiency of which can be adversely affected by
micro-organisms may also be mentioned. Preferably, the
active compounds according to the invention can be used
for protect;ng adhesives, paper, cardboard, coating films,
wood and the like.
Micro-organisms which can cause degradation or
modification of the industrial materials are, for example,
bacteria, funyi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. Pre-
ferably, the substances according to the invention have
a powerful and broad action against fungi; the fungicidal
action embraces moulds as well as wood-destroying and
20 wood-discolouring fungi.
For example, micro-organisms of the following
genera may be mentioned:
Alternaria, such as Alternaria tenuis,
Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus niger,
25 Aureobasidium, such as Aurebasidium pullulans,
Chaetomium, such as Chaetomium globosum,
Coniophora, such as Coniophora cerebella,
Lent;nus, such as Lent;nus t;grinus,
Penicillium, such as Penicillium glaucum,
Polyporus, such as Polyporus versicolor,
Sclerophoma, such as Sclerophoma pityophila,
Trichoderma~ such as Trichoderma viride.
Depending on their field of use, the substances
according to the invent;on can be converted into the
customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions,
suspensions, powders, pastes and granules. These can
Le A 21 726 _ Foreign countries

be prepared in a known manner, for examole by mixing the
active compounds with an extender wh;ch may ~e 3 liqu;d
solvent and/or solid carriers, optionally ~ith the use
of surface-active agents, such as emulsifiers and/or
dispersing agents, and, for example in the case of the
use of extenders, organic solvents can, if appropriate,
be used as auxiliary solvents.
Organic solvents for the active compounds can
be, for example, alcohols, such as lower alcohols, pre-
ferably ethanol or isopropanol, or benzyl alcohol, ketones,such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, liquid hydro-
carbons, such as petrol fractions, and chlorinated hydro-
carbons, such as 1,Z-dichloroethane.
The microbicidal agents according to the inven-
tion contain ;n general 10 to 100% by weight, pr~ferably
50 to 80% by weight, of the halogenopropargylformamides
as the active compound.
The use concentration of the substances accord-
ing to the invention depends on the type and occurrence
of the micro-organisms to be combated, and on the compo-
sition of the material to be protected. The optimum
amount to be used can be determined by test series. In
general the use concentrations are in the range from
0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 1~ by
weight, relative to the material to be protected.
The new active compounds according to the inven-
tion can also be present as a mixture with other known
active compounds. The following active compounds may be
mentioned as examples: benzimidazolyl carbamates,
trihalogenomethylthio compounds, such as N-fluorodi-
chloromethylthio-phthalimide and N,N-dimethyl-W'-phenyl-
N'-~fluorodichloromethylthio)-sulphamides, compounds
which split off formaldehyde, such as hemiformals, phenol
derivatives, such as p-chloro-m-cresol, 2-phenyl-phenol
and (2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-dichloro)-diphenylmethane, di-
thiocarbamates, thiazolylbenzimidazole, isothiazolone

Example A
Leptosohaeria nodorum test (wheat)/protective
Solvent: 100 parts by wei~ht of diMethylformamide
Emulsifier: 0.25 parts by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol
ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active
compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed
with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier,
and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired
concentration,
To test for protective activity, young plants
are sprayed with the preparation of active compound
until dew-moist. After the spray coating has dried
on, the plants are sprayed with a conidia suspension
of Leptosphaeria nodorum. The plants remain for 48
hours in an incubation cabin at 20C and 100% relative
atmospheric humidity.
The plants are placed in a ~Jreenhouse at a
temperature of about 15C and a relative atmospheric
humidity of about 80%.
Evaluation is effected 10 days after the
inoculation.
In this test, a clearly superior activity
compared with the prior art is shown, for example,
by the compounds according to the following preparation
examples: 5, 7, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Example B
Fusarium nivale test (rye)/seed treatment
The active compounds are used as dry dressings.
These are prepared by extending the particular active
compound with a yround mineral to give a finely pulveru-
lent mixture, which ensures uniform distribution on
the seed surface.
To apply the dressing, the infected seed is
shaken with the dressing in a closed glass flask for
3 minutes.
2 batches of 100 grains of the rye are sown
1 cm deep in standard soil and are cultivated in a
greenhouse at a temperature of about 10C and a
relative atmospheric humidity of 95Z, in seedboxes
which are exposed to light for 15 hours daily.
About 3 weeks after sowing, the plants are
evaluated for symptoms of snow mould.
In this test, a clearly superior activity
compared with the prior art is shown, for example,
by the compounds according to the following preparation
examples: 5 and 9.

suspension of the apple scab causative organism (Venturia
inaequalis) and then remain in an incubation cabin
at 20C and 100% relat;ve atmospheric humidity for
1 day.
The plants are then placed in a greenhouse
at 2ûC and a relative atmospheric humidity of about
70~.
Evaluation is carried out 12 days after the
inoculation.
In this test, a clearly superior activity

Xanthomonas oryzae testlbacteriosis/rice/systemic
Solvent: 121.25 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: ~.75 parts by we;ght of aLkylaryl
polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active
compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is
mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier,
and the concentrate is diluted with water to the
desired concentration.
To test for systemic properties, standard
soil ;n wh;ch young plants have been grown is watered
with 100 ml of the preparation of active compound.
3 days after the treatment, the plants are inoculated
1~ w;th an aqueous suspension of Xanthomonas oryzae
by pr;ck;ng. Thereafter, the plants remain in a
greenhouse at 24 to 26C and 70 to 8û% relat;ve
atmospher;c humidity for 14 days unt;l they are
evaluated.
In th;s test, a clearly super;or activ;ty com-
pared with the pr;or art is shown, for example,
by the compounds according to the following preparation

Example E
Action against fun~i
The compounds according to the ;nvention
were ;ncorporated, ;n stepw;se concentra~ions between
S 1 and 500 mg/litre of test sample, into an agar
prepared from beer-wort and peptone~ After the
agar had solidified, the agar samples thus prepared
were contaminated with pure cultures of various
test fungi.
After storage for 2 weeks at 28C and
60 to 70% relat;ve atmospher;c hum;d;ty, the evaluat;on
was carr;ed out. The m;n;mum inhibitory concentration
(MIC), that ;s to say the lowest concentration of
the substance, present ;n an asar sample, at which
no growth of the species used took place, was given.
In this test, a clearly superior activity
compared with the prior art was shown, for example,
by the compounds according to the following preparation
examples: 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 5, 7, 14, 3, 4,
